257 Blood Sacrifice of the Sacred Heart Sect!
However, with the secret of the dragon corpse in front of him, his words became more credible.
Zou Shuang’s eyes lit up. “If there is such a thing, my sect will definitely have a way to turn it into food. Even resurrecting!”
“In the ancient records. The dragon race’s combat strength is unparalleled in the world. If we can get this dragon bone, it will definitely be a heavenly technique! Now that the Nine Dragons sect is in a weakened state…”
The two of them spoke freely and were so excited that they began to imagine the future.
Zou Shuang suddenly frowned slightly. “It’s just… Should we ask the higher-ups for instructions? It’s safer.”
Ji Yuan immediately rejected it. “That’s not right. If we report it, this heavenly technique will have nothing to do with us. Those guys will definitely take all the credit.”
He rejected decisively because he knew what kind of people the Sacred Heart sect had. They were all vampires like him.
“What’s more, the Nine Dragons sect has suffered a great loss now. It’s equivalent to losing half of its name. Our Sacred Heart sect has a strong army and more than ten thousand followers! With such a huge army and the two of us, how can we lose?”
“What you said makes sense.” Zou Shuang wavered. He looked at Zhang Can and smiled kindly. “It’s all thanks to you this time. If we can really get the dragon corpse, we’ll definitely give you a generous reward.”
The two of them placed their arms on Zhang Can’s shoulders and smiled brightly. They were like three die-hard friends who had known each other for at least fifty years.
“Now, let’s celebrate the great blood god sacrifice!” Zou Shuang walked to the top of a mountain.
His heavy body began to slap non-stop on the mountaintop, making a grunting sound. His feet were also jumping lightly and agilely, causing the peak of the mountain to tremble.
In his field of vision, the platform made of piles of firewood was about two acres in size. Many of the Sacred Heart disciples poured a large amount of oil on the firewood platform and then threw bundles of offerings onto it.
The next moment, a crazed Sacred Heart disciple threw a torch at the altar.
The flames were like a prairie fire, instantly igniting the firewood platform of two acres of land. Even some of the Sacred Heart disciples who were unable to retreat in time were set ablaze.
One by one, the fanatical Sacred Heart disciple danced and spoke eloquently.
“Great power, the Sacred Heart stands between heaven and earth. My God created the world, and my heart is free. I have transformed into an immortal…”
Rumble…
The sound waves were like heavy drums, even suppressing the miserable cries on the firewood platform.
Not far away, Qin Huai suddenly felt a little dizzy as he listened to the lies of the Sacred Heart disciples.
He forced himself to calm down and looked at the scene in front of him.
A black viscous liquid began to seep out of the wooden platform, even devouring the raging flames bit by bit. The black sticky liquid greedily swallowed the flames, as well as the villagers who were wailing miserably.
Qin Huai couldn’t smell the fragrance of burning meat in the air. His scalp immediately went numb.
Did the black liquid eat the people and the flames?
He kept staring.
Looking at the altar, the flames finally extinguished. All that was left was a large pool of black viscous liquid. They surged toward the center, as if there was a spring in the center that was gushing out.
Something was wrong. They were the reverse spring water, and all the black liquid was swallowed by the spring eye.
Qin Huai didn’t even dare to blink as he watched the black liquid disappear.
On the ground, all that was left was a vast expanse of scorched earth.
“What is that…” Qin Huai felt a chill run down his spine.
Was that a living thing? Or perhaps… The God that the Sacred Heart sect’s disciples spoke of?
Qin Huai quietly retreated and started to distance himself from September Hook.
There were too many secrets about the Sacred Heart sect. It was no small matter that it could grow to an existence comparable to the True Path sect in just a few decades.
“Children!” Ji Yuan’s voice rang out from the mountain peak. “I’ve received God’s guidance. Next, we’ll raze the Nine Dragons sect!
“That’s the archenemy of our Sacred Heart sect, a branch of the True Path sect! They are destined to disappear in the long river of time, and the ones who will leave a deep mark in this vast history book are you and me…”
Qin Huai’s retreating figure paused slightly. He then stood up and sprinted toward the Nine Dragons sect.
…
Nine Dragons sect.
Qin Huai sat in the study. In front of him were Li Zeren, Li Zeshi, Li Zewu, and the new head of the Zhang family, Zhang Wei. Even Elder Dalong had come over.
Everyone in the study looked somber.
“If the Sacred Heart sect wants to attack us, they will definitely have to go around the county governor’s mansion and the Twin Extreme sect. Unless they use Niu Mountain and Erli River to lure us out… only by wiping out most of our forces can they take down the Nine Dragons sect,” Qin Huai said solemnly.
“Then we only need to abandon Niu Mountain and Erli River, and we can temporarily avoid the enemy. With the Nine Dragon Sect’s current strength, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for us to deal with the Sacred Heart sect’s frenzied attacks,” Li Zeren said.
Li Zewu nodded. “I agree. The Nine Dragons sect has just gone through a huge battle. Our combat strength is too low…”
“Although giving up these mines and herbal fields will definitely make our lives more difficult, it seems there is no better way at the moment.” Zhang Rong followed suit.
“So, Sect Master, what is your strategy?” Li Zeren looked at Qin Huai and hesitated.
Only then did Qin Huai speak. “We definitely can’t just defend ourselves for now, but we can’t give up these important places so easily.
“Actually, a few days ago, I already asked Shaoxiang to take the money and buy all the medicinal herbs that can be used in the city’s medicinal shops to make medicine.”
Zhang Rong, Li Zeshi, and the others’ eyelids twitched as they listened.
This sect master was really ruthless. He was truly willing to spend money on the poison path.
Qin Huai whispered, “I was thinking of taking the initiative to attack September Hook… I didn’t expect the Sacred Heart sect to be one step ahead of us… Now is the perfect time. Let’s give them all these poisons!”
Qin Huai waved his hand. “Pass down my order. Summon all the disciples of the Nine Dragons sect outside. At the same time, bring your equipment and assemble at Niu Mountain!
“Since the Sacred Heart sect wants to attack our Nine Dragons sect, let’s go ahead and give them a big gift!”
